After about 2.5 weeks of calling the Adcenter customer support I finally got an answer today. MSN Adcenter displayed ads that I had paused a week back. Apparently their system cannot pause the ads the moment you click on pause , ( They actually told me that their system was not as advance as Google to pause ads instantly ) the ads stop after about 2 hours of displaying & burning your PPC budget. And in extreme cases it can keep running till you figure it out and call their help centre to stop it.

My ads kept running till I happen to see them on MSN search. The ads wont stop till they figure it out which may take 5-7 days ( which I was told during my initial caonversation with them ) or may take 2.5 weeks like in my case. They refunded me USD 39.70 for the ads that generated clicks after they were paused.

Their system is in a total mess, if you advertise with them I can only recommend you to keep a tight watch on your displayed ads. I ve stopped all my PPC campaigns on MSN after this incident.

Nick from Online Phone Cards November 4, 2008 at 12:21 pm: Even your case makes me sure that I was right when choosing GoogleAds. Microsoft may be good at making software but it definitely falls behind in web advertising.
digga live December 1, 2008 at 10:58 am: I have actually heard sories about that! Ha , if it says it’s paused , it should be paused! I had the problem, of them putting mine on budget pause. To fix that, I just had to raise my monthly budget.
